You could try but I'm sure the damage has already been done you want to check out the left side facing the screen or the right side if your behind the TV

Well owner agree to $40 for the set. I take it the first thing I need to do is expose the side tabs and press on them to see which side is bad?

Thanks, it may be worth a gamble if i can get it for $40??? If all else fails maybe I can get my money back by parting it out.

Bad panel. One of the side drivers are shorted or intermittent shorting. Probably recoverable after panel.surgery but nothing that will last forever. I've seen some still running 3 years later, a few fail in weeks.

Hey guys,

I have the opportunity to pick up a Sharp LC-70LE650U that works but has a dark spot in the screen. Owner says it comes and goes which leads me to believe it is a bad connection at the panel. Anyone experience this and was able to fix it? I have attached a picture of the problem.
